The new FAO Schwarz is officially open! Here are 9 things to do inside

We've been crossing days off our calendars, waiting for the moment when FAO Schwarz promises we'll "return to wonder." Well NYC, wonder no more because the anticipation is over.

Today, the beloved toy store opened the doors to its new permanent home at 30 Rock, and the endless stacks of empty red shopping bags aren't going to fill themselves. The palpable void that came with FAO's Fifth Ave closure in 2015—and the subsequent demise of Toys “R” Us earlier this year—was difficult to bear, but we can all rest assured that there will still be a place for New Yorkers to go when they need a teddy...and then some. 

From stuffed animals and board games to dolls and STEM products, FAO's selection is nothing short of generous. All interests will find something that strikes their fancy, but perhaps what's so lovable about the store is the extra step it takes to make the experience interactive. 

Not only will kiddies be able to find a new furry friend or snag Hatchimals eggs, but they'll be able to enjoy hands-on activities (some of which are free) that'll spark a bit of imagination and playfulness. Check out some of our favorite things to do inside the new store.
